Optimised dispersion protocol for particle size measurement of copper oxides applied as feed additives and plant protection products
distribution to assess whether a nano-specific risk assessment should be performed. To measure the particle size distribution using electron microscopy (EM), a dispersion protocol that aims at maximal ...
Food Consumption Survey 2022-2023: Finger Prick Study Methodology
obtained from non-invasive data collection methods (i.e., using microsampling-at-home). Specifically the study aims to use biomarkers in order to: estimate the vitamin D status of the population aged three ...
Residential tree canopy configuration and mortality in 6 million Swiss adults: a longitudinal study.
single-exposure and multi-exposure time-varying Cox regression models to estimate the associations between the different exposure metrics and natural-cause and cause-specific mortality in Swiss adults (aged from 20 ...
Associations of heat with diseases and specific symptoms in Flanders, Belgium: An 8-year retrospective study of general practitioner registration data.
Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Alemayehu Ali, Endale; Cox, Bianca; Van de Vel, Karen; Verachtert, Els; Vaes, Bert; Gabriel Beerten, Simon; Duarte, Elisa; Scheerens, Charlotte; Raf Aerts; Van Pottelbergh, Gijs Source: Environme ...
A validation methodology for size and shape measurement of nanoplastics by transmission electron microscopy
all materials. To assess the accuracy of our approach, a comparison with the certified size values (see Methods section) is required [5]. Specific information on how the certified diameter was obtained ...
Characterization of functional nanoparticles applied in face masks by STEM-EDX
synthetic fibres applied in face masks has been demonstrated [2], even when no specific information was provided on their packaging. Since TiO2 is a suspected carcinogen (IARC 2B) and potential negative ...
Evaluation of European Pollen Reanalysis
reanalysis is generally unbiased by its design. However, predictions in some individual years and at specific stations could manifest noticeable deviations, offset in other years. As a result, RMSE was mostly ...
First European pollen reanalysis for allergenic trees
tendencies. The existing studies on pollen trends are usually limited to the individual station or specific regions. In the present reanalysis the symbiosis of in-situ measurements and modern modelling tools ...
Modelling grass pollen load in temperate and Mediterranean European areas based on source spatial distribution
causes of pollen allergy worldwide. Still, the identification of its specific emission sources is a challenging task because of the ubiquitous nature of this pollen type. Previous studies have explored the ...
Impact of environmental nitrogen enrichment on birch pollen allergy
representing the nitrogen gradient, was used to determine their allergenicity in pollen-allergic adult patients (n = 60 in total) using ex vivo basophil activation testing (BAT) and specific IgE (sIgE) ...
